Dear visitor, On behalf of all members and friends of GLPN-Foundation,I warmly welcome you to the world of peace. Peace itself is a crosscutting issue,inter-disciplinary matter which also touches all corners of our daily lives. Peace is a pivotal pillar of humanity, and humanity without peace, is a death in fact.In the effort to tackle the endless conflict in the world today,let’s start it with a small scale, from our hearts, family, community, society,and then contribute to the whole world unanimously. Even though is tough task, but better try and see.I am sure that the results will be positive,if we do that from the bottom of heart,with good will, and tackle effectively the beneath of the issue,by responding non-violently to the basic needs of parties. GLPN is committed to contribute to the appeal for peace in the world,in order to immortalize the great ideas of the greater peace pioneers like Martin Luther King, H.E Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Pr.Johan Galtung and others,and teach about peace and incorporate it in our schools from the primary schoolsup to university levels for a bright and peaceful world of tomorrow.No doubt, you are among those who like peace and peaceful conflict transformation,the only pathway leads to a more desirable human condition.If so, the time has come for you and I to make peace instead of war,and transform conflict towards sustainable development.In this regard, you can contribute in one way or another to peace by joining us,or helping us with whatsoever you have and however you can. You are cordially welcome !May peace prevail in the world ! Warmly welcome to GLPN Foundation. Dr.Claude Shema-Rutagengwa (GLPN founder)
